Our Descent from Adam

By Editor

WE learn from the report of the Presbyterian Assembly that Professor Woodrow feels hurt because some object to his theory that man is descended from the lower animals. For our part, we might possibly accept his theory, with proper qualifications. We have seen men who were below the level of brutes; such, if any, could be said to be descended from the lower animals. If Professor Woodrow wishes to claim this distinction for himself, we would not dispute the matter with him; but we don't want him to presume to speak for us. We claim our descent from Adam.
